Blackwood urges the observ ance of Universal Bible Sunday on next Sunday, Decembmer 6, by the churches of South Carolina. The Americap Bible Society, an interdenominational agency en gaged in the circulating of the Scriptures, and which last year put into distribution over twelve mil lion volumes of Scriptures in two hundred and eighty-five languages, has promoted Universal Bible Sunday for over a decade. Each year an increasing number of churches in America and in for eign lands unite in the observance of Universal Bible Sunday in or der to remind church-goers of the important place the Bible holds in the development of Christian life and character. In commending Universal Bible Sunday Governor Blackwood says: “I unreservedly endorse the ob servance of Universal Bible Sun day. A liberal knowledge of the teachings of the Bible constitutes a large and indispensable part of the education of those who are well equipped for the struggles of life. The Old and the New Testa ment are replete with inspirational literature for those of all ages, races, languages and conditions. The foundation of no career is well laid without a knowledge of a love and veneration for the Bible.” X—« Brief Livestock Hints December Attention Death Of A Colored Man Willie Cunningham died at his Irfne near here early Monday iqrning, following a long illness, was 39 years of age at the time CLEMSON COLLEGE, Nov. 30.— To guide the increasing tendency toward careful livestock manage ment Clemson College specialists make below some brief timely sug- cestions for the efficient care of livestock, L.

Profits On Tomatoes O VER 22,000 banks all over the United States are “quietly and ef ficiently serving their communities, helping tide many business enterprises over their difficulties, helping many concerns to earn money, helping cre ate the economic activities that mean payrolls and spending power in their zones of influence, and faithfully keep ing guard over the working capital and savings funds of their depositors,” the Economic Policy Commission of the American Cankers Association says in a recent survey, adding: “It surely stands strikingly to the credit cf the banking profession that, during a period of unparalleled inter national economic depression, this vast majority of bankers have so com petently, so courageously and so suc cessfully met their difficulties and ob ligations. The effects of the drought, the demoralization of agriculture, the stagnation of industry, the break down of trade, the inability of so many heretofore desirable customers to meet their obligations to the banks, the impairment of public confidence by mob-scares and false rumors result ing in unreasoning runs, the abnormal depreciation of quoted security values even in the most wisely conceived in vestment accounts, the utter collapse of real estate values—all thesq things have occurred on a nationwide and worldwide scale with unprecedented severity. “The effects of every one of them have assailed the banks with destruc tive forces because they are of the very essence of a bank’s economic sub stance. Yet, as we have shown, the great bulk of our banking deposits has been protected without harm, and our banks in a vast majority have con tinued to-serve, support and strength en their customers and thejr commu nities with unflagging and uncon quered devotion.” Special to The State. ORANGEBURG, Nov. 28.—An acre of fall tomatoes has been pro fitable to W. W. Watson and son. Four tons have already been gath ered from this syigle acre and it is estimated that another ton will be gathered. The tomatoes were sold at six cents per pound wholesale. This acre of tomatoes was plant ed in a young pecan grove, the trees of which are about seven years old and are just beginning to bear this fall. R. C. STEPHENSON WOULD ALTER OUR FINANCIAL HABITS By ROME C. STEPHENSON * Former President American Bankers Association TpHE most constructive action that * can be taken toward bringing about greater stability in our business life is the develop ment of a more balanced attitude in tho minds of all of our people in regard to the right relationship "between saving and spending. There is ,more practical, worka ble economics in the sentence: Save during pros perity so as to be able to spend dur ing depression: than in a whole library full of charts and tables and books on political economy. I do not believe it is an imprac ticable dream to bring about an era cf more intelligent saving and spend ing on the part of our people. It is not impossible to change the habits of the population. It has been done in many lines/ The habits of our people havo been improved and the health of the nation promoted in many ways by consistent programs of advertising and education that have brought about better hygienic understanding and practices. The medical profession has virtual ly banished the scourge of some dis eases by persistent, intelligent cam paigns of preventive sanitary meas ures and inoculations, requiring new understandings, new habits among many millions of our people. Also a large part of this evolution of public health improvement has naturally de veloped through the intelligent adver tising of many products that have to do with bodily care. I refer to the manufacturers and distributers of such things as more healthful shoes, more effective toothbrushes, food products with more wholesome values of nutri tion and countless other practical ideas that have become commonplaces of our daily business life,—and that havo become a pari, too, of the very texture of the personal habits and herlth of great masses of our people. IT it has been good advertising and go: ;1 business for so many of our na- tic al producers to spend millions of dc'.'ars thus to inculcate new habits of •'orsonal hygiene and personal care,' is - not good business and good adver- ’ \g for our banking interests to lay ” !ar stress during the next period prosperity upon better financial !ts and customs of our people? r "nkers above all are interested in St' ;lc, wholesome business. They h: vo much to gain by a state of sound flr vv.cial health among the people, and m .',t to lose by epidemics of economic mrlrdies such as have swept the coun try curing the past two years. VtJtY UTtST by MAW MARSHALL Nothing could be simpler than this little play apron that is de signed like an old fashioned work man’s apron with a tape to hold it over the head and tapes at either side to tie it securely in place. It can be made of cretonne, of figured print, of unbleached mus lin. It can be bound around the edges with tape—red, if it is made of unbleached muslin, of the color of the figure if it is made of a print. Any apron will do, of course. For the important thing about this ofie is the little pocket—big for a poc ket—to hold some sort of play thing. * The apron can be devised as a painting apron, and then will serve the double purpose of keeping the frock beneath it clean and holding the painting equipment. The pocket may be square or oblong, and it may be stitched into several com- u vGE NUMBER EIGHT REV. AND MRS. LEON T.

What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. No time to stand beneath the boughs And stare as long as sheep or cows. No time to see, when woods we pass. Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass. No time to see, in broad daylight. Streams full of stars, like skies at night. f No time to turn at Beauty’s glance, And watch her feet, how they can dance. No time to wait till her mouth can Enrich that smile her eyes began. A poor life this if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare. ^ -X- In choosing a kitchen cabinet, see that it is so well made that insects and mice can’t get into it; that it is made of material easy to clean; and that the drawers and compart ments are suitable in size and shape for the articles to be stored in them. MARION, Nov. 28.—Proving to their own profit and illustrating for the benefit of others that growing corn and feeding it to hogs pays even under very low price conditions, Marion county’s 4-H club boys have this season done a fine piece of work, says W. R. Wells, county farm agent. In 1931, according-to Mr. Wells’ records, there were 74 com club members in Marion county with an average yield of 42.5 bushels per acre, at a cost of $17.47 per acre, including land, rent, fertilizer, and labor. This rpakes an average cost per bushel of 41 cents. - Five of these club boys, Mr. Wells continues, conducted six hog feed ing demonstrations using 45 hogs to which they fed 228 bushels of corn and secured a net return av eraging $1.28 per bushel. Five of the six demonstrations were run in the spring when hogs were selling at 8 1-2 cents, and one clubster who fed 13 hogs then and got a net return of 98 cents per bushel, repeated his demonstration with nine hogs in the fall when hogs were selling at 6 1-2 cents /per pound, and got a net return of 82 cents per bushel. The net returns per bushel of corn used varied rather widely from 73 cents per bushel to $2.00 per bushel, the average being as stated above $1.21 per bushel. When we recall that in the spring corn sold locally for 75 cents per bushel and in the fall for 50 cents per bushel, we realize clearly that this com-hog farming practice of these junior farmers is a good business proposition. tXX Says Grow More Hogs; As Mortgage Lifters CLEMSON COLLEGE, Nov. 28.— With hundreds ( of feeding demon strations over South Carolina showing a satisfactory profit on hogs, one begins to wonder why the hog population does not increase more rapidly, says Prof. L. V. Star- key, chief of animal husbandry here, who thinks that no fair- minded person can study carefully experiment station data and the data from records on hog feeding in different counties of the state and come out with any other idea except that hogs will pay. Prof. Starkey thinks that the fencing problem in hog production has been exaggerated as to initial cash outlay, for records show that one acre of soybean pasture * will graze 10 to 20 hogs from June 15 until corn is ready to hog down and that it therefore takes a rela tively small amount of fencing for grazing hogs. Yet, he adds, over 75 per cent of the hogs produced in the state do not have access to satisfactory forage crops. When we take into consideration the fact that hogs have done so well under adverse conditions we are bound to conclude that they will return a splendid profit when conditions such as forage crops and fences and the control of in ternal parasites are in their favor. Regarding the small hog popula tion of the state Prof. Starkey re minds us first of all that census figures now and ten years ago are not comparable because they were taken at different times of the year and because hogs are much sho:.ter-lived than they were ten yea:s ago when they were kept un til t least a year old and some- tir.T s much older, whereas now ho^s intended for pork are put on the market at about eight months of age.
